There is a registry key that turns off web search in win10, it makes it much nicer.

For posterity,

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer

DisableSearchBoxSuggestions DWORD

Set its value to 1.

Should work for Windows 11 and 10

I don't see an Explorer folder under that path on my installation.

Me, neither. The other one I see on Google is HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Search, and that doesn't exist either.

That's a Windows registry path, you can use regedit to edit the values. Microsoft has a reasonable guide for it: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-serve...

No, I know - thank you - but I mean there is no Explorer at that path in regedit for me.
